Identifier

Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
This is a known problem with design of very complex objects. Like a Boeing 747 or a vast ocean liner it has millions of parts, so a lot to go wrong
In effect the more complex the design the less ‘perfect’ it is likely to be e.g
- an atom is near perfection
- a cell has some limitations
- an organ has more limitations
- a person has even more limitations...........
A description of the experience
Emmanuel Swedenborg –The Infinite and the final cause of creation
All derivatives are perfect exactly in proportion as they are near to the primitive, for the greatest finite perfection becomes less and less in succession
